Heidi Dewell is a multi-channel creative leader with over 20 years of demonstrated success creating and implementing compelling strategies to enhance the consumer experience, strengthen brand expression and optimize multi-channel sales. 

Throughout her nearly 20 years at Williams Sonoma, Inc, she has had the enriching experience of working on multiple brands including Williams Sonoma and Williams Sonoma Home, as well as launching West Elm and Pottery Barn teen. Prior to WSI, she began her career in the advertising world at McCann, followed by experiences at premium retailers DFS/LVMH, Restoration Hardware and Discovery Channel/The Nature Company.

Heidi’s experience includes a unique background as a content creator and storyteller for global lifestyle brands centered around the home, who can simultaneously lead teams and manage financial budgets. She is a grounded and proven leader, skilled in developing and motivating individuals and teams to exceed expectations. She is known for a strong ability to craft cross-functional partnerships among marketing, merchandising and creative teams. Her ability to develop process and structure to support strong creative campaigns—from start up to flagship brands, while remaining nimble and flexible in an ever-changing digital and retail dynamic, has been a key to her success.

I currently specialize in art direction for both studio and location photo shoots, particularly in the world of food, interior design, and home furnishings. I am a strong creative collaborator and leader, and believe that the best images are achieved through an equally inspired team. I’m based in San Francisco, but always happy to hop on a plane.

lastly, a note of thanks to the many talented photographers and stylists (too many to name them all!) whom I have worked with over the years on Williams sonoma and williams Sonoma home, and whose beautiful images are seen on my website: Sang an, anson smart, romulo yanes, sharyn cairns, George dolese, alison attenborough, merliee bordin, vivian lui, Philippa brathwaite, jc garcia, holly smith.
